PHP while numbers in each row - php

Question

<?php
$result10=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog_articles WHERE fk_semikatagori_id = 9") or die(mysql_error());
?>
<?php
$index = 1;
while($row10 = mysql_fetch_array($result10)) {
if($index%2==0) {
echo "<span class=\"f\">";
echo $row10['english_navn'];
echo "</span><br />";
}
else {
echo "<p><span class=\"f\">";
echo $row10['english_navn'];
echo "</span></p><br />";
echo "<p>";
echo $row10['english_tekst'];
echo "</p><br />";
}
$index++;
}
?>
Any ideas how I can display the number for each row?
I want it to start from 1.
I cant display the id from Mysql because it doesnt start from 1.

Answer 1

You could for example use a for() loop instead of a while() loop,
for ($index = 0; $row10 = mysql_fetch_array($result10); $index++)
{
...
echo $index;
}
Then the counter would be echoed.

Answer 2

$index = 1;
while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{
// display the number for each row
echo $index;
// other code...
// increment number
$index++;
}

Thanks everyone for the help, it worked.
Here is the code if anyone else can use it.
<?php
$index = 1;
for ($index2 = 1; $row10 = mysql_fetch_array($result10); $index2++)
{
if($index%2==0)
{
echo "<span class=\"f\">";
echo $row10['english_navn'];
echo $index2;
echo "</span><br />";
}
else
{
echo "<p><span class=\"f\">";
echo $row10['english_navn'];
echo "</span></p><br />";
echo "<p>";
echo $index2;
echo $row10['english_tekst'];
echo "</p><br />";
}
$index++;
}
?>

I think the best solution that you can get are the follow:
Make a for statement:
<?php
for($idx=1; $row = mysql_fetch_array($result10); $idx++) {
...
}
?>
as said before or use the follow:
<?php
$idx = 1;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result10)) {
...
$idx++;
}
?>
I would recommend you to make a like upgrade in your select statement to get a faster result (if you start get many rows as result):
from: SELECT * FROM blog_articles WHERE fk_semikatagori_id = 9
to:
SELECT
english_navn
, english_tekst
FROM blog_articles
WHERE
fk_semikatagori_id = 9
Because you are using just these 2 columns into your loop but you are making MySQL engine get all columns from this table.
I hope it help you.
